Should You Choose to Live Forever? In conversation with Stephen Cave

Nick Spencer speaks with Director of the Institute of Technology and Humanity, Stephen Cave. 07/05/2024

Once upon a time, it was religions that promised eternal life. Now its science, with the possibility of immortality – whether bionic, cellular, genetic, or virtual – being the subject of big Silicon Valley dollars.

In this week’s episode, Nick Spencer speaks to Stephen Cave about his book Should You Choose to Live Forever?
